World's largest electric resistance crucible-type aluminum melting furnaces with capacity more than two tons

HUGE ENERGY SAVINGS

CLEAN METAL, STRONGER CASTINGS

Electrically melted metal typically yields castings with 20% better mechanical properties due to the elimination of water vapor from the gas-fired products of combustion. Water vapor contaminates aluminum by forming oxide (hard spots) and hydrogen porosity which degrade casting mechanical properties.

REDUCES MAGNESIUM AND STRONTIUM "FADE"

Magnesium and strontium, so critical to structural die casting properties, are less affected when electrically melted and quickly formed into castings, but can "fade" to dangerously low levels when exposed to high superheating temperatures in central melters and long time delays as the alloy slowly moves from central melter, through hot metal delivery system and holding furnaces. Like aluminum, both elements adversely react with water vapor from products of combustion in gas-fired furnaces.
